I know we're talking about the UCI here, but why not change the rule to a time penalty instead of an automatic disqualification? Peaty clearly was not cheating, he just blew out of the tape. A five second, hell, a ten second penalty would be plenty, and it wouldn't have the devastating effect of a big fat zero on his...
I thought one of the 5050's strengths was its thickness. You see a lot of world cup guys on 5050's, Burgtecs' and Straightline's, and none of those are thin. I think the "thinner is better" thing is probably more internet lore than reality, like the obsession with low front ends on downhill sleds.
Luiz Carlos, you're not taking crazy pills; I know where you're coming from. Every single Earthed or Sprung beats the pants off of any race or freeride movie made since 2007, no question.
Thanks for getting the calendar out. This is a huge help! Bummer about mammoth, I was hoping we would just run Kamikaze, take the visors off and get some TV coverage.
